Does your organization need a resource to better understand what the general public currently knows—or, thinks they know, about energy?💡 According to the results of Atlantica’s Energy Literacy Benchmark Study for Atlantic Canada, out of 1,224 respondents, 67% reported encountering at least some information about energy in the past few months, with 37% seeing or hearing a lot, and 11% not recalling any information. ➡️Visit Atlantica’s Energy Literacy Benchmark Study Results: https://ow.ly/j3k550TSETt

“In particular, the potential role of nuclear energy in achieving net-zero emissions was a recurring topic. Numerous respondents advocated for a deeper exploration of how nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMRs), could contribute to Canada’s energy mix.”

The first module of Atlantica Centre for Energy’s Energy Fundamentals for Leaders program thru University of New Brunswick was a success! Students from many sectors and in diverse roles learned about the Electricity Grid, the natural gas system, the utility model, nuclear, renewables and hydrogen, refined petroleum products and so much more! Topped off with a an applied learning activity about Clean Tech with Neil Jacobsen and a tour of the Irving Oil Refinery this morning, I’d say it was a jammed packed 2.5 days! We have an engaged group this year asking thoughtful questions! I’m looking forward to next months module about the economics of energy lead by David Campbell!
